Re: Droid DNA Cases

I wound up buying the dropsuit but noticed the thin area near the USB port is a bit loose. Is this normal for this case or did I get a less than stellar one?

I don't have the DropSuit, but if it's loose already, it may get even worse over time. It shouldn't be that way.

I just picked up the Qmadix Legacy Case. Provides dual layer protection, soft TPU layer inside, with hard plastic shell on the outside.

I think I'm done searching for cases at the moment. This one is reasonbly thin, slides into my pocket easily, but provides a good grip in your hand with the two notches on the back. I also much prefer the look of the Qmadix case , to the look of what Otterbox put out for the DNA, with the envelope design on the back of the Otterbox. Not my taste.

One slight negative, the opening for the camera/flash seems larger then necessary, but I think it's a design/look decision. Not a biggie.

Re: Droid DNA Cases

I have a Case*Mate for My DNA. I have been using it for about two weeks, and I like it. Buttons work well once you get used to them. The case feels like the stock soft touch we have come to love. The case is a very sleek two price affair. Attach the face trim first, then the back snaps into place. The trim protects the glass while face down. The case is opens near the headphones jack and the charging port for trouble free access. I do not know if it works with wireless charging but I suspect it would because other cases do. The fit is top notch and I plan on using it for the life of the phone.

The case does not add any extra bulk. As I said sleek and user friendly.

It's from a company called DayDeal. They have several, but the one I have is the dry apply Anti Glare one for the DNA. This particular screen protector does not go edge to edge, but it covers the entire portion of the screen that illuminates when phone is turned on, as well as the touch buttons, at the bottom of the screen.

This is the 2nd screen protector I've tried, and I like it alot. Resistant to smudges and fingerprints, which was my main objective after protecting the screen, while not diminishing the screens vibrancy much if at all. Any smudges that do appear wipe off easily!

Positives:
Dry apply
Hides fingerprints/smudges very well
No change in responsiveness of phone to touch

Negatives:
It is visible, outdoors, when the device is turned off. With device turned on, you really can't tell there is a protector on it. With DNA turned off, because the screen protector doesn't go right up to the right/left and top edges, you do see it. However, this also eliminates any issues of it getting damaged, when users try to put a case on the device, after protector has been installed.

The incipio feather is amazing. Its light, its soft touch inside and outside. The fit is great. It almost feels like the device is naked and all buttons are exposed making unlocking the device extremely easy. Pics coming up tonight.

Re: Droid DNA Cases

Does anyone know where to get a NON-MATTE hard plastic case? Something like the back of the Galaxy S3 and I see tons of iPhone cases like that, I just like a hard plastic case that isn't necessarily shiny, but has that kinda smooth texture...I really want a white one that just speaks class! lol. Thanks, I tried eBay but nothing!

It's not shiny nor is it particularly smooth, but I think the Nilkin hard cover cases look pretty nice:

They have a shiny, smooth one but it only comes in black, blue, and yellow (here). If you don't want something matte or textured, your best bet is to just go with a TPU case (e.g. here). IMO, since the DNA is black, an all-black case might look sleeker.

Re: Droid DNA Cases

I'm hoping DaVinciCase dot com (etsy has a bigger variety of DaVinci cases for some reason) starts making cases for the DNA, but I doubt it. The have some really cool cases, and as an avid coral reef aquarist, I love the metallic star coral cases. Keeping with the coral reef aquarist theme, Reef Eden International makes some very nice cases. They use Casemate cases with high quality reef scenes/pictures printed on them. They don't sell any for the DNA yet, but they make them for the HTC One X & S and a few other phones, so I'm hoping they will eventually make some for my DNA.

Re: Droid DNA Cases

I have the Ballistic 'SG' case. The 'SG' from Ballistic stands for 'soft-gel' It isn't yet available on the Ballistic site, however you can order from a well trusted vendor on e-bay and I think you shall be more the happy.

Re: Droid DNA Cases

Just some pics of my Ballistic shell case that I posted in some other thread; supposedly 'drop resistant' for about 8 feet, but certainly heavy; though, button access is great, it grips nicely in your hand, and isn't as bulky as it could be.

I took my DNA out of the case earlier tonight and forgot how incredibly slim, light, and aesthetically pleasing it is on its own. Maybe when my new owner's paranoia settles down I can settle for a slim case .

//EDIT: so I know this thing works. I stepped out of the car and forgot my DNA was in my lap--landed face-down on concrete without a scratch or software issue. To be fair, the drop was only like 2-3 feet, but without the case I'm sure the screen would have cracked.
